"No film by Herzog has ever been so defiantly mainstream - and yet this remains one of the director's craziest, most outlandish affairs. Finding a way out the other side of that contradiction is half the fun for the incredulous viewer"
Eye for Film
Anton Bitel
2/5
"drags harder than when Herzog tried to pull that boat over a mountain"

"Just as ridiculous as the title implies, this ill-conceived sequel to Abel Ferrara's masterpiece ("Bad Lieutenant" - 1992) picks up some grains of muscular grit under the unlikely Werner Herzog's guidance, but flails every step of the way."

3/4
"...a surprisingly compelling piece of work that'll undoubtedly (and deservedly) earn itself a cult following in the years to come..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
"Herzog is having every bit as much fun as Cage here, toying with renegade cop movie cliches and working in a pulpy mode he hasn't touched for a while."
Cinematical
Eugene Novikov
3/4
"It may not have the wounding thrust of Ferrara's, but it shares with that film a bottomless compassion for its crazies, to say nothing of the exhilaration of seeing a fearless director and a fearless actor pushing each other beyond extremes."
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
B+
"Outrageously enjoyable...turns the genre conventions on their head to often uproarious effect."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2.5/4
"It's perhaps 2/3 of a good movie and 1/3 of material that feels out of place or is derivative."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3/5
"Cage is not quite Aguirre or Fitzcarraldo in the Big Easy. But his performance hits all the right mythopoetic beats, rising above the thin script and late-night-cable aesthetic."
Time Out New York
Keith Uhlich
B+
"The film is both a police thriller and a drug addled fantasy with an iguana for a guide and Cage plays it like Hunter S. Thompson with a badge."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
B
"May not result in a coherent whole but nonetheless delivers bursts of random, inspired madness."
